Yeah, unless we're ice diving, litehedded keeps us from adopting a "team standard" in catheters :shakehead:

I hear there's a pump that might be able to help you rise to his standard :rofl3::rofl3:
 
Where'd you get that quote?

Some of the most impressive dives (in open water and cave diving) have involved a team mentality. I'm sure each and every one of those true team divers can, and they certainly do quite a bit.

My buddies and I are a team from when we get up in the morning before a dive, in the water, and till the last bit of equipment is broken down and packed away at the end of the day. This strong sense of camaraderie results in a commitment not only to ourselves, but each other.

I Guess being self sufficient isn't in your team hand book. Does this mean no man left behind? Do you dive as a group and die as a group?
What commitment would you possibly make. We're talking diving, not a life long till death do us part thing here. ( or maybe we are) Do you dive with anyone but your team?

I'm very close to the people I dive with even if I just meet them that day. I dive often with people that I never meet before that day. I guess you don't do that.
Being self sufficient is a lot more important than some team. When the time comes and it's you or him guess what happens. Self preservation is a funny thing.
